Forum Bug Reports and Feature Requests

He's not alone in experiencing that issue, and I think it's definitely related to IE. I've had it happen to me in both Win XP and Win 7. Animated gifs will boot me out of a thread and also reset my forum color setting from Light to Dark.

Could it have something to do with this new fashion of direktx-accelerated browser - display ?

Would someone kindly make those animated gifs go away? Every time I try to check the Codex thread, everything goes doink and I get tossed off the Watch. A little selective butchery would be much appreciated.

Hey, you spammer ! You use the name of the great, well-known female aventurian pirate called "The Red Hrika" for putting spam into this forum ??? Shame on you !

In the Larian forums a .GIF smiley was found to have some scripting behind it, perhaps hackers got it in or so. This case was found by a few German forum users, and it was noticeable seemingly only (?) under Linux.

After the report of this strange incident, Larian did an update of the forums-software.

I still don't quite understand what it was. When I had downloaded this .GIF Smiley file onto my own PC, I had nothing but a tiny .GIF file. But two or three people said thre was PHP scripting embedded in or behind it. And I trust them. Espcially since one of them knows several things about computers (don't remember if he's a professional or not, but he definitively knows how to work with Linux).
